Friction-Induced Vibration in Lead Screw Drives
FrictionInduced Vibration in Lead Screw Drives Author:Orang Vahid-Araghi, Farid Golnaraghi Friction-Induced Vibration in Lead Screw Drives covers the dynamics of lead screw drives with an emphasis on the role of friction. Although lead screw drives have a long history and their mechanical design and manufacturing aspects are very well understood, the role of friction in their dynamical behavior, as well as friction-induced instability... more » in such systems, has not been comprehensively treated. The use of friction-induced vibration in lead screws can be the cause of unacceptably high levels of audible noise, and may lead to instabilities and vibration. This book will serve as the definitive text on the friction-induced vibration of lead screws and will identify ways to prevent self-excited vibration by design. It includes several approaches to actively suppress vibration using robust control methodologies.« less
